Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups (480ml) buttermilk
- ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients
- 1½ cups (225g) fresh or frozen blueberries
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Maple syrup for serving
- Whipped cream or yogurt on the side
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent the casserole from sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Then add buttermilk, melted and cooled unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined to avoid overmixing, which could make the casserole dense.
- Assemble Casserole: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Then scatter the fresh or frozen blueberries evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for 5–10 minutes to set slightly before slicing. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, and offer maple syrup and whipped cream or yogurt on the side for added indulgence.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the casserole light and fluffy.
- Blueberries can be used fresh or frozen; if frozen, no need to thaw before adding.
- Letting the casserole rest after baking helps it slice neatly.
- Feel free to substitute blueberries with other berries or fruit as preferred.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute buttermilk with a plant-based milk mixed with lemon juice or vinegar.
